Communication apparatus, control method for communication apparatus, and storage medium

Abstract

A communication apparatus includes a reception unit which receives a notification from an image capturing apparatus, and a control unit. If the received notification indicates that a divided moving image file to be generated using a chunk recording method has been generated, the control unit requests the divided moving image file from the image capturing apparatus. If the received notification indicates that a metadata file associated with the divided moving image file has been generated, the control unit does not request the metadata file from the image capturing apparatus. If the received notification indicates that a metadata file associated with the divided moving image file has been updated, the control unit requests the metadata file from the image capturing apparatus.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A communication apparatus comprising:
 at least one memory storing instructions; and   at least one processor that, upon execution of the stored instructions is configured to operate as:   a reception unit configured to receive a notification transmitted from an image capturing apparatus; and   a control unit configured to,   wherein, when the received notification indicates that a divided moving image file to be generated using a first recording method which continues moving image recording from when the image capturing apparatus receives an instruction for recording from a user until the image capturing apparatus receives an instruction for ending of recording from the user, and generates divided moving image files for every predetermined time or for every predetermined size has been generated, perform control to request the divided moving image file from the image capturing apparatus,   wherein, when the received notification indicates that a metadata file associated with the divided moving image file has been generated, perform control not to request the metadata file from the image capturing apparatus, and   wherein, when the received notification indicates that a metadata file associated with the divided moving image file has been updated, perform control to request the metadata file from the image capturing apparatus.   
     
     
         2 . The communication apparatus according to  claim 1 ,
 wherein execution of the stored instructions further configures the at least one processor to operate as the control unit configured to, when the received notification indicates that a moving image file generated in a second recording method which continues moving image recording from when the image capturing apparatus receives an instruction for recording from a user until the image capturing apparatus receives an instruction for ending of recording from the user and generates a moving image file that is based on moving image data continuously recorded until then has been generated, perform control to request the moving image file from the image capturing apparatus, and   wherein, when the received notification indicates that a metadata file associated with the moving image file has been generated, perform control to request the metadata file associated with the moving image file from the image capturing apparatus.   
     
     
         3 . The communication apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein execution of the stored instructions further configures the at least one processor to operate as the control unit configured to determine that, based on a file name of a divided moving image file included in the notification, the notification is a notification indicating that the divided moving image file has been generated. 
     
     
         4 . The communication apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein execution of the stored instructions further configures the at least one processor to operate as the control unit configured to determine that, based on a file name of a divided moving image file included in the notification, the notification is a notification indicating that a metadata file associated with the divided moving image file has been generated. 
     
     
         5 . The communication apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein execution of the stored instructions further configures the at least one processor to operate as the control unit configured to determine that, based on a file name of a divided moving image file included in the notification, the notification is a notification indicating that a metadata file associated with the divided moving image file has been updated. 
     
     
         6 . The communication apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein execution of the stored instructions further configures the at least one processor to operate as the control unit configured to determine that, based on a file name of a moving image file included in the notification, the notification is a notification indicating that the moving image file has been generated. 
     
     
         7 . The communication apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein execution of the stored instructions further configures the at least one processor to operate as the control unit configured to determine that, based on a file name of a moving image file included in the notification, the notification is a notification indicating that a metadata file associated with the moving image file has been generated. 
     
     
         8 . The communication apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein each of the divided moving image file and the moving image file is a proxy moving image file. 
     
     
         9 . The communication apparatus according to  claim 1 ,
 wherein execution of the stored instructions further configures the at least one processor to operate as the control unit configured to sequentially transmit the received divided moving image files to a server, and   transmit, to the server, a metadata file associated with the received divided moving image files after all of the received divided moving image files have been transmitted.   
     
     
         10 . The communication apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein transmission of the received divided moving image file to a server and reception of the divided moving image file are performed in parallel. 
     
     
         11 . A control method for a communication apparatus, the control method comprising:
 receiving a notification transmitted from an image capturing apparatus;   when the received notification indicates that a divided moving image file to be generated using a first recording method which continues moving image recording from when the image capturing apparatus receives an instruction for recording from a user until the image capturing apparatus receives an instruction for ending of recording from the user and generates divided moving image files for every predetermined time or for every predetermined size has been generated, performing control to request the divided moving image file from the image capturing apparatus;   when the received notification indicates that a metadata file associated with the divided moving image file has been generated, performing control not to request the metadata file from the image capturing apparatus; and   when the received notification indicates that a metadata file associated with the divided moving image file has been updated, performing control to request the metadata file from the image capturing apparatus.   
     
     
         12 . A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing instructions that, when executed by one or more processors of a communication apparatus, cause the communication apparatus to execute a control method, the control method comprising:
 receiving a notification transmitted from an image capturing apparatus;   when the received notification indicates that a divided moving image file to be generated using a first recording method which continues moving image recording from when the image capturing apparatus receives an instruction for recording from a user until the image capturing apparatus receives an instruction for ending of recording from the user and generates divided moving image files for every predetermined time or for every predetermined size has been generated, performing control to request the divided moving image file from the image capturing apparatus;   when the received notification indicates that a metadata file associated with the divided moving image file has been generated, performing control not to request the metadata file from the image capturing apparatus; and   when the received notification indicates that a metadata file associated with the divided moving image file has been updated, performing control to request the metadata file from the image capturing apparatus.
